Bio:
Kilim refers to a flatweaving technique without pile, in which patterns and fields of colour are formed directly through the weaving process. The technique occurs in several weaving traditions and is particularly suited to geometric compositions. The origin of this carpet cannot be securely determined from the available information and appearance alone.
